Indiana Comic Con

[ZbornacSVT]

Any reports on wanding or anything? I know the convention center is fine for carrying, and I know the events stance on firearms, but curious as to the actual security measures in place by the event.

Thanks in advance!

You could always get one of these and dress as Han Solo. They won't know the difference.

I am boycotting it since they are against religious freedom.

It's not my cup of tea anyway but if it were, I would boycott it just for using a Taylor Swift song as their advertising theme and playing it every single commercial break.

Is Comic Con anything like GenCon?

I just got home from the convention myself. From what i saw they weren't really checking weapons and absolutely no wanding or metal detectors. I know when i went to C2E2 a couple years ago all weapons had to be checked and have a blue zip tie on them to show they had been checked. I didn't really see any common markers like that (but i wasn't paying that close of attention either). I know when me and my friend were checking in they didn't ask us if we had weapons or anything to check, they just scanned our QR codes and handed us some badges. I will say there was a really decent police presence in the convention itself, i did not mind being disarmed there with so many officers about.

I had no issues CC'ing into GenCon a couple years ago... If it's similar at all.

Oh boy

 

[WarJunky91]

Oh boy

Oh lord Perhaps i should have worded that better. I did mind not being able to carry my own weapon, but it wasn't an option both because of convention rules and my costume. But seeing a visibly armed officer (not a rent-a-cop with a taser, but honest to god police) about every 50 yards when i was at the convention made me feel a lot less like i was in a shooting gallery and more like someone was actually there to help if things went sideways.

[JettaKnight]

Please no. I may be a nerd, but that goofy costume crap and furries, and.... ick.

 

[dbrier]

We need costume photos!

Ya probably should have left out the "costume" part. Just sayin...

I actually have quit a few pictures from the convention, both of me and a bunch of really awesome costumes i saw.
